Question

A car is traveling at a speed of 30m/s and leaves the ramp at a 37 degree angle. What is the total hang time of the car?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

INITIAL Vertical velocity is given by

30 m/s * sin 37

then gravity begins to slow it down

30 sin37 - (9.81) t = vertical velocity at t

when v = 0 , the car is at its apex and will fall back down in the same amount of time

0 = 30 sin37 - 9.81 t shows t = 1.84 seconds to peak

then another 1.84 seconds to fall to the ground total = 3.7 seconds
